An icon library is easy to start and easier to abandon.
That's because every new icon makes the next one harder to design.
It has to respect all the decisions made before it: stroke weight, proportions, corner radius, and visual balance. It requires someone to care about icon #17,742 more than icon #1.
Scale requires creative precision and commitment.
At Streamline, we've made the hard decision to make massive sets. That are also consistent, legible, and harmonious.
So that you won't have to settle for something that's mediocre. Or waste time drawing your own icons.
With that, we have 3 updates for you.
We’ve been building an icon design system from the ground up. It’s the first of its kind, with four cohesive families: Core, Flex, Plump, and Sharp.
Nearly 2,500 icons have been added to each family in the last 3 months, with Plump on the way. Each family has 42,000 icons.
As a set grows, older icons need to be revisited and harmonized. Improving hierarchy, legibility, and more.
Streamline isn’t a static ZIP file you download. It’s a living, continuously improving icon library. No one else has even attempted to do this.
Even with large sets, some icons may still be missing. When that happens, our in-house design team creates them for you. Free of cost.
In the past six months, we’ve fulfilled 75% of all requests sent our way, helping keep the sets complete and consistent.
We've designed some mocks for you to get inspired. These are designed using our new and improved icons.
Thanks for choosing Streamline! If you have any feedback, suggestions or ideas for us, please reply to this email. We'd love to hear!

It's true. There are plenty of marketplaces and open-source projects available on the internet.
So, why should you choose Streamline? In this letter, we want to address why Streamline exists and who is it for.
We believe that creativity requires a calm mind. Creativity cannot be rushed. And it's often worsened by unrealistic deadlines or anxiety triggers.
Our competitors charge per asset or by tracking how many pageviews your project gets.
This adds stress to an already demanding job. We back our words with action:
No matter what you purchase, you can use assets for unlimited projects.
We do have some fair usage policies to protect our art, but that shouldn't get in the way for most people.
Vincent, Streamline's founder has a core value on how the company is run.
You'll notice this when you tour our free icon library. Even though it is free, it won't feel cheap.
Most of our features are free to use. And all our plugins are free to access.
Generosity has worked well for us in the past. People help us spread the word. And that helps us reinvest into the product.
Most competitors run marketplaces. They rely on thousands of sellers, each with their own style, skill level, and idea of “good enough.” You get volume, not quality.
We chose a different path from day one.
Everything is made in-house by one team of veteran icon designers.
That gives us something marketplaces can’t offer: true consistency. We review the sets carefully. And we spend the time to harmonize every icon so the entire collection is the best version of itself.
Mastery is maintenance, too. As sets grow, harmonization gets harder. So we often return to older icons and refine them. Ultimate sets have been improved five times since they were originally launched.
It’s not the fastest way to create icons but it’s the only way to build a library we can trust. In fact, some of our icons are better than custom drawn ones.
Most icon libraries chase variety. They release dozens of small sets, each with its own style, its own rules, and its own gaps. It looks big from far away, but when you sit down to design, you discover what’s missing. You end up drawing the icons yourself or mixing sets that never quite match.
We do the opposite.
We go deep.
Streamline builds massive, complete icon sets designed to cover every use case you’ll ever need. And when something isn’t there, we draw it. As long as it can serve the rest of the community.
Because of that, our sets don’t compete with one another. There’s no noise. You get a coherent icon library that respects your time.
Many icon marketplaces slow you down before you even start. They show third-party ads. They charge you to remove them.
We believe that running irrelevant ads distracts you from your core job. So we don't run irrelevant ads.
At Streamline, almost all our features are available to use, for free.
Wherever you work, our tools stay simple and accessible. Features aren't gated. You get the speed you need, without obstacles.
Streamline is profitable and independent. We build only for our customers. They range from banks and governments to many of the world’s best designers.
Our team of eight veteran designers creates icons and illustrations exclusively for Streamline. When you start using our icons, you are investing in assets that we will keep improving.
Over the last 12 years, we have seen many competitors launch icon sets, then disappear. Most of those sets were never expanded or maintained. UI sets that are not maintained lose their value and waste your money.
We are here for the long-term. You are our investors. We focus on giving you the best return on your investment: assets that stay useful, consistent, and maintained year after year.
